I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

Moreover, more than half of the twenty-six participants came from Konoha;

Moreover, I am the chief examiner for this second assessment!

"Should the rules be changed so that fights resulting in death are not allowed within the designated area...?"

"The squad led by Chief Ara has already far surpassed the level of a genin; all they lack is a title."

She poured out all her worries in one breath, her brown pupils trembling with the most tangible and clear fear.

"I see."

“Indeed, with Chief Huang’s current strength, he should not limit himself to this assessment.”

"However, their participation did not deviate from the rules."

"Furthermore, this is the kind of Uchiha that the daimyo and nobles of various countries want to see."

Hiruzen Sarutobi gradually regained control of his emotions and explained the cause of the sudden incident.

At the same time, he unconsciously raised his voice when mentioning the Uchiha clan.

It has a sense of disappointment and frustration.

After all, even under Kakashi Hatake's training, Sasuke Uchiha's growth was still too slow, far behind his older brother Itachi Uchiha!

It's important to know that at the same age, the latter had already become an elite member of the Dark Division, a pillar of the organization!

"I have already conveyed this matter to the factions you belong to."

"Judging by the time, many of your leaders already knew this."

He subtly portrayed the Sand Village as someone who had nothing to do with the situation.

The whole affair was undoubtedly instigated by this so-called alliance.

"The rules of the Chunin Exams cannot be changed."

"As Lord Maki said, when you chose to become ninjas, you should have been prepared to die for your missions and your villages at any time."

"This wilderness team trial is very likely to be the first major test in your ninja career."

"If you fear death, you may simply give up!"

After a slight pause, Hiruzen Sarutobi began his impassioned speech.

Such a state of mind, such words, did indeed stir a sense of excitement in the young men standing there. After all, the former was the most powerful Hokage of Konoha among all forces!

However, some lower-ranking ninjas began to suppress their joy at the examiner's suggestion and started to have second thoughts.

That's a squad that can easily defeat Jonin and Anbu!

Compared to a meaningless and pointless death, they were more convinced that life is precious.

There has been no unusual activity for the time being because everyone is waiting for someone to take the lead and set a precedent.

In this way, the first to lose face will not be one's own faction.

"However, we should not ignore the examiner's substantive suggestions."

"Therefore, under the premise that the rules remain unchanged, the team led by Uchiha Ara will not need to participate in the second assessment and will directly advance to the third assessment."

Sarutobi Hiruzen made the final decision.

The rule that forbids killing each other is far too weak. A true elite ninja can eliminate a mission target in a hundred different ways.

Moreover, the Forty-Fourth Trial Grounds are teeming with poisonous insects and wild beasts, providing ample opportunities for murder and cover-up.

The best course of action would be to separate this extremely dangerous squad.

Of course, this was because he didn't want Ara to continue to have private contact with Naruto Uzumaki.

Originally, this consideration was completely unnecessary.

As long as the plan I devised all night is perfectly executed, that's all that matters!

but!

Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's hatred grew even stronger, all thanks to that so-called ally, Sunagakure.

Similarly, this also served as a wake-up call for themselves.

The Uchiha clan's aggressive and reckless overtures must be driven by a grand scheme.

And it's a plot against Konoha!

The solution from the Third Hokage not only calmed down the anxious participating ninjas, but also relieved their team leaders.

After all, they have already passed the first trial and come this far. If they were to retreat in such a disgraceful manner, it would be too unwilling and shameful.

In particular, the genin squad from the Sound Village, whose mission was temporarily suspended due to the lack of a target, gradually put their minds at ease.

Using Sasuke Uchiha's life as the fundamental path to exchange for power from Lord Orochimaru seems like an inevitable outcome.

However, there were also discontented voices among these contestants.

"Why?"

A minimalist yet deeply discontented question rang out from behind Machi.

Such a sound immediately sent a shiver down his spine, as he was the Jonin leading the team.

Clearly, this voice came from Gaara.

This guy's 'acting up' again!!

"Gaara!"

"This is the Hokage's order."

Without the slightest hesitation or mercy, Maki turned and rebuked him.

At the same time, his eyes were also signaling to Temari on the side to keep her younger brother calm and not cause any more trouble.

After all, this was a situation he had worked so hard to maintain!

If the Uchiha clan senses hostility, then we'll end up losing more than we gain.

"Humph."

However, despite feeling the combined pressure from his teacher and older sister, Gaara still showed no sign of restraint.

"I'll kill you in the finals."

A stark and hostile declaration was hurled down.

Such a sound not only drew the attention of the surrounding contestants, but even Hiruzen Sarutobi showed a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Could it be that Sunagakure simply wants to annoy them at this juncture?

After all, such solid hostility could not possibly be feigned.

Huang paid no attention to these remarks.

Because he knew Gaara's terrible, almost obsessive personality.

Instead, a cold glint appeared in Quan's eyes.

Anyone who shows hostility towards her is her enemy!

"Let's go."

Without even responding, Huang turned and retreated off the field. As for the four unseeing corpses of the Dark Guards, he didn't care what happened to them.

"I,"

"me too!"

"In the finals, I will definitely show you my true strength!"

"I'll show you the ninja way I've always upheld!!"

It seems that Gaara's provocation set a good precedent, as another challenge was declared.

"plum!"

"As expected of my student!"

Might Guy exclaimed in surprise, sensing the indomitable fighting spirit in the man.

He cried out in alarm because his students' beliefs had not been completely shattered.

But at that moment, Huang stopped and turned his gaze away.

"Oh?"

"Challenge me?"

"So,"

"Wait until you have the awareness and strength to open the eighth gate of the Eight Gates Formation before you start spouting nonsense."

Chapter 488 Each Person's Promise.

[Wait until you're ready and have the strength to open the eighth gate before you spout nonsense!]

These words were like a thunderbolt, instantly blasting the spirited Locke Lee to smithereens.

He stood rooted to the spot, his lips pressed tightly together, his fists, already exhausted, still clenched tightly, as if resisting some surging resentment within him!

"Li You".

"Uchiha Ara was just talking off the cuff..."

"After all, he has never truly experienced the Eight Gates Formation, and this forbidden technique has long been included in the Book of Sealing. Only you and I in the entire village have mastered it."

The moment Matt Kay heard those arrogant remarks, the smile that had just appeared on his face froze, and he immediately moved in front of Locke Lee.

Wrapped in bandages, wounds not yet healed

Despite his external and internal wounds, the kid struggled to his feet and ignored the opponent's previous record when he challenged him!

This disciple, who was strong-willed throughout his life, filled him with immense pride, yet also caused him immense heartache.

“I understand, Teacher Kai.”

"You don't need to comfort me."
